NESS H200 Hand Rehabilitation System

The NESS H200 is an advanced therapy system designed to use mild electrical stimulation to improve the way your arm works. It may help you get the most out of therapy, and reduce complications including muscle spasms. If the NESS H200 is right for you, it may make it easier for you to drink from a glass, reach for things, write, and use two hands again. It is designed to be easy to use and can be put on with just one hand.

How NESS H200 Works

The NESS H200 has two main parts: the orthosis and the control unit.

1. Lightweight Orthosis The orthosis attaches to your forearm and wrist, and connects to the control unit. Inside the orthosis, electrodes deliver mild stimulation that helps your hand move. 2. Handheld Control Unit The control unit has large buttons making it easy-to-use, and has a rechargeable battery for extra convenience.

Your clinician will custom-fit the orthosis and set up the control unit with a therapy program designed for you. After the initial fitting, you just put the orthosis on and you are set. Click here to watch the full video of how the NESS H200 works.

Is the NESS H200 right for me?

The NESS H200 may assist people who have problems using their hand or arm because of these medical conditions:

• Stroke (hemiplegic)
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury (C5 and C6)
• Other neurological disorders of the central nervous system (e.g., Parkinson's Disease and other upper motor neuron injuries)

People who cannot use the NESS H200

The NESS H200 is not for people with lower motor neuron disease or injury. Other people who may not be able to use the device include people with an arm dislocation or fracture or people with demand-type pacemakers.
